Alloy 1050
Description

1050 is a high purity non-heat treatable alloy with 99.5% aluminium content. These compositions are characterised by excellent corrosion resistance, high thermal and electrical conductivity, low mechanical properties and excellent workability. Iron and silicon are the major impurities.

Application

Use in electrical and chemical fields which require the highest available electrical conductivity performance

Alloy 1070
Description

1070 is a high purity non-heat treatable alloy with 99.70% aluminium content. These compositions are characterised by excellent corrosion resistance, high thermal and electrical conductivity, low mechanical properties and excellent workability. Iron and silicon are the major impurities.

Application

Use in electrical and chemical fields which require the highest available electrical conductivity performance

Alloy 6060
Description

6060 is one of the most common alloys of 6000 series. It is a heat treatable alloy with very good corrosion resistance and weldability. It is an ideal alloy for every complex cross section and has a very good anodizing response.

It cannot be work hardened but is commonly heat treated to produce temper with a higher strength but lower ductility

Application
  • Architectural applications including doors and windows frames
  • Electrical components and conduits
  • Tube for irrigation systems
  • Curtain walls
  • Lightning, furniture and picture frames
  • Carpet edging
  • Railings and fences
  • Applications where surface finish is important
Alloy 6061
Description

6061 is a heat treatable alloy with mechanical properties slightly lower than 6082. It has good corrosion resistance but the extruded surface finish is not as good as 6060.

Application
  • Road and rail transport
  • Marine
  • Scaffold tube
  • Structural members
  • Cycling frames and components
  • Breathing gas cylinders for scuba diving and SCBA
Alloy 6063
Description

6063 is a heat treatable and weldable. It is commonly used for aluminium extrusion. It allows complex shapes to be formed with very smooth surface fit for anodizing. Application required higher strength typically use 6061 and 6082 instead.

Application
  • Architectural applications including doors frame, windows frame, roof, and sign frames
  • Cycling frames and components
Alloy 6082
Description

6082 has excellent corrosion resistance and the highest strength of the 6000 series structural alloys. The extruded surface finish is not as good as alloys such as 6060 and 6063.

6082 has good weldability and is commonly used in marine applications

Application
  • Highly stressed applications
  • Bridges
  • Cranes
  • Marine applications
  • Other transport applications
